{"pk":27416,"title":"The Effects of Social Task Setting on Time Perception","subtitle":null,"abstract":"This study investigates the effects of the social setting on\nprospective time estimation, how time is perceived when a task\nis performed (i) alone, (ii) with a collaborative, or (iii) with a\ncompetitive partner. N=90 participants were tested (30 in each\ncondition). Participants performed a concurrent Simon task for\nthree different durations (15, 30 and 45 seconds) which was\nfollowed by a time reproduction phase. Results revealed a main\neffect of social condition. Reproduction ratios in dual\nconditions were smaller than in the single condition and also\nsmaller in the competitive condition compared to the\ncooperative condition. The results provide first evidence that\nsocial condition affects time estimation: time “flies” when we\nwork together, in particular when we compete with a partner,\nshowing that cognitive and social processes are heavily\nintertwined.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"time cognition; time perception; joint task; joint\naction; social Simon effect; social cognition; prospective time\nestimation"}],"section":"Posters: Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/6j5133s1","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Kerem","middle_name":"Alp","last_name":"Usal","name_suffix":"","institution":"METU Informatics Institute","department":""},{"first_name":"Annette","middle_name":"","last_name":"Hohenberger","name_suffix":"","institution":"METU Informatics Institute","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2017-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/27416/galley/17052/download/"}]}
